Some patients may require jaw surgery in order to correct the position of the teeth and provide a functioning bite. The supporting bones of the jaws must be in the correct position.
If this is not the case, orthodontics alone will not correct the bite. Surgery will be required to move the jaws into the proper position so the teeth then meet correctly. Patients seek jaw surgery at our Harley Street practice for a number of reasons, including;
- Difficulty in eating and speaking
- Disproportionately large upper or lower jaws
- Long face
- Facial asymmetries & Chin abnormalities.

Thankfully, with elleven Dental Wellness, this doesn’t have to be a complex operation. We’re friends with the best jaw surgeons, and are used to working in close collaboration to get optimum results for our shared patients.
Book a consultation with Dr. Shivani Patel to discuss your jaw surgery requirements. She is trained as an orthodontist to consultant level and has a lot of experience in these multidisciplinary cases.
At elleven Dental Wellness, we always work in the best interest of the patient. It is important to understand that with jaw surgery you may experience some side effects, whether you are having class 1, 2 or 3 surgery.
You will have some swelling and bruising after the operation. This will rapidly begin to subside over the first 2-3 weeks. For operations on the lower jaw, it is fairly common to have some numbness of the lower lip. In a very small number of cases, a residual area of numbness may remain. This does not affect the movement of the lips, only the feeling in it, in a similar way to an injection at the dentist. After the operation, you will have to take it easy for 2-3 weeks. You should therefore expect to be off college or work for at least that length of time.
